Kompagnon Fellowship

The annual Kompagnon Fellowship is awarded jointly by Berlinale Talents and the Berlinale programme sections. In 2024, it was open to screenwriters and directors based in Germany who were selected for the last edition of Perspektive Deutsches Kino or participated in the current edition of the Script Station, Doc Station or Short Form Station. Additionally producers attending the latest edition of the Talent Project Market can apply.

The fellowship provides a stipend to develop a screenplay or project, comprising €5,000. Based on the filmmaker’s or producer's individual needs, additional €3,000 can be spent to support and strengthen the fellow's artistic or entrepreneurial signature - whether through coaching, mentoring, or personal consultancy.

The Kompagnon Fellowship is supported by the German Federal Film Board (FFA).
